Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Any item - internal or external - that is required by a process before that process proceeds






2. A histogram - ordered by frequency of occurrence - that shows how many results were generated by each identified cause






3. Specific version of the schedule model used to compare actual results to the plan to determine if preventive or corrective action is needed to meet the project objectives






4. The process of finalizing all activities across all of the project management process groups to formally complete the project or phase






5. Subdivision (fragment) of a project schedule network diagram - usually representing a subproject or work package.






6. Adding features and functionality (project scope) without addressing the effects on time - costs - and resources or without customer approval






7. Process of numerically analyzing the effect of identified risks on overall project objectives






8. Collect project performance data with respect to a plan - produce performance measures and report and disseminate performance information






9. Document issued by the project initiator or sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organization resources to the project activities






10. List of project team members - their project roles and communication information






11. Summary level project schedule that identifies the major deliverables and work breakdown structure components and key schedule milestones






12. Area of project management defined by its knowledge requirements and described in terms of its component processes - practices - inputs - outputs - tools and techniques






13. Store of historical information and lessons learned about both the outcomes of previous project selection decisions and previous project performance






14. Measure of schedule efficiency on a project. ratio of earned value (EV) and the planned value (PV). SV = EV minus PV.






15. Requests to expand or reduce the project scope - modify policies - processes - plans or procedures - modify costs or budgets - or revise schedules






16. Implementing risk response plans - tracking identified risks - monitoring residual risks - identifying new risks and evaluating risk process throughout the project






17. The formally documented identification of a defect in a project component with a recommendation to either repair the defect or completely replace the component






18. Developing an approximation of the monetary resources needed to complete project activities






19. Quantitative risk analysis and modeling technique used to determine which risks have the most potential impact on the project. typical display of results is in the form of a tornado diagram






20. Number of labor units required to complete a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component






21. Any form of schedule network analysis in which scheduling decisions are driven by resource constraints






22. Collection of schedule activity dependencies that makes up a project schedule network diagram






23. Identifying the specific actions to be performed to produce the project deliverables






24. A product - result or service generated by a process






25. The area on either side of the centerline - or mean - of data plotted on a control chart that meets the customer's requirements for a product or service.






26. Identifying early and late start dates as well as early and late finish dates for the uncompleted portions of project schedule activities






27. A technique that explores the accuracy of assumptions and identifies risks to the project from inaccuracy - inconsistency - or incompleteness of assumptions






28. Application of knowledge - skills - tools and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements






29. Describes how the project management team will implement the performing organizations quality plan.






30. Evaluation of whether or not a product - service - or system complies with a regulation - requirement - specification or imposed condition.






31. Schedule network diagramming technique in which schedule activities are represented by boxes or nodes. schedule activities are graphically linked by one or more logical relationships to show the sequence in which the activities are performed






32. A collection of formal documented procedures that define how project deliverables and documentation will be controlled - changed and approved. in most application areas - the change control system is a subset of the configuration management system






33. Budgeted cost of work performed






34. Features and functions that characterize a product - service or result






35. An estimating technique that uses the values of parameters - such as scope - cost - budget - and duration or measures of scale such as size - weight - and complexity from a previous similar activity as the basis of estimating the same parameter or me






36. Documenting project purchasing decisions - specifying the approach and identifying potential sellers






37. Assumptions are factors that - for planning purposes - are considered to be true - real - or certain without proof or demonstration






38. Document that describes how the project scope will be defined - developed and verified and how the work breakdown structure will be created and defined and that provides guidance on how the project scope will be managed and controlled by the project






39. The right to apply project resources - expend funds - make decisions or give approvals






40. Calendar of working days or shifts that establishes those dates on which schedule activities are worked and nonworking days that determine those dates on which schedule activities are idle






41. Summary level schedule that identifies the major schedule milestone






42. The date up to or through which the project's reporting system has provided actual status and accomplishments. also called as-of date and time-now date.






43. Source of variation that is not inherent in the system - is not predictable - and it intermittent. also referred to as assignable cause.






44. The earliest point in time on which the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity (or the project) can finish - based on the schedule network logic - the data date and any schedule constraints.






45. Approved specific version of the detailed scope statement - work breakdown structure (WBS) and its associated WBS dictionary






46. A formally constituted group of stakeholders responsible for reviewing - evaluating - approving - delaying or rejecting changes to a project - with all the decisions and recommendations being recorded






47. Risk response planning technique for a threat that creates changes to the project management plan that are meant to either eliminate the risk or to protect the project objectives from its impact.






48. Information system consisting of tools and techniques to gather - integrate and disseminate the outputs of project management processes.






49. The merging or joining of parallel schedule network paths into the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by a schedule activity with more than one predecessor activity






50. ACWP
